A connector module permits termination of cross-connect wires on one surface (front) and cable wires on an opposite surface (rear). The module exhibits a configuration, which permits test access and protector (i.e., protection module) mounting from the front surface. The jumper wires are inserted from a side surface through wire guides or channels that bring the wires from the side surface to the front surface where the wires can be terminated without impeding insertion and removal of protection modules from the front of the connector module. There is an intermediate surface below the front surface that is accessible from the front and recessed to allow protection modules to be installed completely below the terminated wires, allowing termination and maintenance of jumper wires after the protection module is installed from the front.

Connector module

A modular distributing frame for supporting telephone connector blocks for single person front jumper administration. The connector blocks are mounted in vertical columns having vertical troughs on both sides. Horizontal troughs are located at the top, bottom and an intermediate location while being in the same plane as the vertical troughs.
